Turns out they’ve bought the original company now. interesting. Maybe Badass bridges will stop being super expensive again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Erm... think this is old news with several YouTube bassists promoting Allparts as the spiritual successor for a while now. However one of their main advocates, Jeff Berlin going with Babicz.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Not old news, well, the announcement isn’t anyhow...they’ve bought the remaining stock and all the tooling etc as well as the branding rights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 OK I see re. the old stock but I think they'e been making "identical" replacement bridges for a little while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the brand, the company “Leo Quann Inc.” so they will make Badass Bridges instead of the Omega...or maybe both. its like me making strat copies For a bit then buying fender...And making fender strats instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I like how they announce 'the original Badass is back!' even though it's versions II and III... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they’re doing the ‘1’ again as seen on the old BC Rich and Spector basses. Obviously the II will be the big seller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 I wonder if they’ll price them at a premium and then keep omega as a “budget” version... I want a black BAII but keep on thinking I’ll just get an omega and live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The craftwork put into the Babicz bridge shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The Badass II was always the coolest looking Fender replacement bridge, however the Fender High mass is half the price of the other badass-inspired bridges, works just as well and looks just as cool on a Fender with Chrome hardware.
